Lyrics
I will praise you O LORD For you lifted me up And did not allow my enemies To gloat over me
O LORD my God I cried out to you And you healed me O LORD you pulled me up from Sheol You rescued me From among those descending Into the grave
Sing to the LORD You faithful followers of his Give thanks to his holy name For his anger lasts Only a brief moment And his good favor Restores one’s life
One may experience sorrow During the night But joy arrives in the morning
In my self-confidence I said I will never be shaken O LORD in your good favor You made me secure Then you rejected me And I was terrified
To you O LORD I cried out I begged the Lord for mercy What profit is there In taking my life In my descending into the Pit Can the dust of the grave praise you Can it declare your loyalty Hear O LORD and have mercy on me O LORD deliver me
Then you turned my lament Into dancing You removed my sackcloth And covered me with joy Mourning into dancing Mourning into dancing
So now my heart will sing to you And not be silent O LORD my God I will always give thanks to you
One may experience sorrow During the night But joy arrives in the morning My heart will sing to you And not be silent
